travellers tomorrow. Detention is An activist has started painting a

message for the bailiffs. It reads, danger of death. The traveller's

say that they have nowhere else to go. They will be forced to pitch up

somewhere else, illegal or not. But the council is making sure that the

town's land is secured. We have extended trenches and

locked up our gates. Anybody who camps on a non- designated site is

illegal. As such we would move them on. We have been responsible,

The meeting took place here. Some travellers are fighting. This fight

has gone on for years but it could be over in the next few hours.

That is the picture outside the gates tonight. What is the mood

inside? Alex Dunlop has spent the day with the travellers inside the

camp as they get ready for the eviction.

Dale Farm went into lockdown last night. We are reduced to see the

main gate from the other side. This is the view from the inside. This

time, it is very well secured. This drama full of concrete will have to

protesters on this mattresses add their sideboard before dawn settled

together. They have some basic provisions here. One of the more

outspoken up protesters will be at shackled to this drum that they

call, the beast. Behind that would be a transit van and a second line

of defence. They will have to negotiate all sorts of obstacles.

There is this Russian military vehicle here. They have been

building up the defences here. Concrete mixers have been going.

Even the travelling men have been joining in to build up the

barricades. It is a terrible thing. No way is provided for them. They

have nowhere to go. This is the main thing we have to protect her.

What sort of resistance were you put up? Non-violent? Non-violent

maybe. If they get violent, we will have to. We will retaliate. This is

the view from the observation point above the main gate. You can see

the bailiffs compound where the bailiffs and security guards are

beginning to amass. There is jollity here but a sense of people

being on edge as we had -- head through the night. There is the

scaffolding and people are working away. The travellers and protesters

are aware that this is only one corner of the six acre site. The

bailiffs could come in through the eastern or certain -- 7 flank of

the side. Preparations are underway for the bailiffs tomorrow morning.

To about this dispute, Grattan Puxon has been a spokesman for the

person and his ADD Dale Farm now. Thank you for joining us.

Resistance tomorrow is in no one's interests. Surely they are right?

We appealed to the council tomorrow that it can be peaceful. It is up

to the council to stay their hand. We have tried to make this legal

and have done everything possible to live. -- to have a illegal place

to live. The Government has offered land a mile across the road. We

have been willing to go there peacefully. We will move out

tomorrow and go to that land offered by the Government but you

have decided to come in with force and we can do their thing but try

to resist. We have to save the children of Dale Farm. Some people

are very sick here. You are talking about the children and elderly, but

as Tony Ball said yesterday, the safety is the traveller's

responsibility. You are putting up the lives of those people at risk

are, aren't you? We have the paramedics come in last night for a

very sick man. We are asking that they do not bring bulldozers in

here tomorrow. They have it in their choice to back off now and

keep it peaceful and allow time for us to move to somewhere the Gulf.

They still that chance and it is up to Basildon council and not up to

us. I really ask, who else needs a Dale Farm more? Who needs this land

more than these families? I don't believe Basildon council needs it

and I don't know why they are wasting �20 million. Four times

United Nations have said this is a breach of human rights. It is the

principal, isn't it? If they can't allow this to stay when you have

lost all the arguments in the courts. They have to go ahead with

it and they have said they will do it safely. You are resisting and

that is making it more dangerous. We are protecting families from

being thrown out on the road where they will be at the mercy of the

Essex police, who in their last eviction pounced on families and

were moving them on by the hour. The council has said they will do

it safely. They have insisted they would do it safely. We appeal to

everyone to see we have no choice but to stand by and stop this

happening. It is a brutality and something that should never have

happened. Take you very much. The Justice Minister, Jonathan

Djanogly has agreed to give so it - - up some of his ministerial

And the young writer who grew up in the tower blocks of Luton and the

running for the top prize in Look East has discovered that the

former leader of Essex County Council is threatening legal action

against Essex police. Lord Hanningfield was jailed the summer

for fiddling his parliamentary expenses. Now his lyres are

demanding damages over a separate investigation into the expenses he

claimed from the council. -- lawyers.

Filmed in his home after being released from prison, Lord

Hanningfield was not to know that police were planning to arrest him

again, this to -- this time as part of their separate investigation

into claims off his other fraudulent claims.

A Lord Hanningfield had been told that he could start to rebuild his

life. That was until Essex police came to arrest him at his home at

6:30am one morning. They can't just go and arrest

anybody they feel like. There has to be a reason. On this occasion,

it appears the rest may have been unlawful in practical terms because

he was arrested inside his house. The police had no right to go

through his front door in order to arrest him. They didn't have a

search warrant. Laudable and -- Lord Hanningfield was

reasons for rest are unclear and say they are seeking �3,000 in

damages for unlawful arrest in detention, �300 for other things.

Controversial scheme to deport foreigners found sleeping rough has

been rolled out in parts of Norfolk. It follows a pilot scheme in

Peterborough involved in the border Agency and city council. Critics

say it may not be legal to deport EU nationals who are entitled to

enter the UK. A racing driver who was injured in

Network Rail are saying tonight that hopefully things will soon be

back to normal. The problem started around 5:00am this morning.

Commuters travelling from Ipswich reported delays of 60 minutes. Many

I spoke to were not even bothering to travel once they realised how a

gram of things well. Network Rail claimed there is no indication that

this was down to cable theft. Rather they suspect high winds. As

we speak five out of the six lines are working normally. Network Rail

claimed there could still be delays getting home tonight. It has

apologised but said it will do everything it can to fix the faults.

The new non- emergency phone number for contacting police has been

introduced in more parts of the region. People in Suffolk and

Norfolk can now dial 1 - 0 - 1 to get through to their local force.

It has already been introduced in Essex for incidents which do not

need and for urgent response. It started as a spontaneous protest

against corporate greed on the streets of New York but the Occupy

Wall Street has spread around the world. We got up with sumps --

You do have a choice. You could go home.

Then what would be the future? Is it just the usual suspects who

According to the Governor of the Bank of England we have never had

it so bad. The economy is slowing and in this region 200,000 people

are unemployed. The East continues to do better than the national

average. New opportunities were announced today for young people

who want to learn different skills. Kate Riley reports on where the

jobs of the future coming from. Today they are celebrating the

important news of receiving over �600,000 to fund and turns here

over the next 18 months. It will help to preserve traditional skills.

Over the next three years and 19 people will be trained in

traditional farming and gardening methods. The placements last

between six and 18 months. The scheme recruits people of all ages

and backgrounds and started in April.

It has been an life-saver. With the recession my business could not

carry on. We are in dire times in terms of

public finances of the lottery is an important part of funding which

keeps innovative projects like this alive.

�620,000 has been won from the Heritage Lottery Fund as part of

their skills for the Future project. It is an opportunity for people

want to learn new skills. They can retrain and redeveloped. They can

learn something which has historical importance to this

county. The next generation are learning a

farmer management. The internships are hoped to be to future

employment. I was planning to leave his 6th

form and if I had not got this job I would have been one of a million

young people leaving -- sitting at home doing nothing.

So an example of the future generations keeping the past alive.

Unemployment may be at a 17 year high but it is the green sector in

our region that is providing more and more opportunities.

but got this job after he retrained. It was a lifeline for me and my

family. He comes from the traditional

fishing family and work alongside his late father until he was a

teenager. He was previously on Look East in the 1980s.

It is the only job we know. My father would be happy that there

are things happening now. He was disappointed with what happened to

the fishing community. I would not have preferred to leave

a fishing. I love the job. But unfortunately you have to improvise

and move along. This is a sign of the times. A

If you have dreamed about writing a novel how about this? Stephen

gritty book which has reached the short list for the Booker Prize,

they approach their lives with hope and joy and humour.

Violence blighted Marsh Farm during riots in the summer of 1995.

Stephen witnessed them. It felt like a dream at the time

which did not reflect the place I knew. It was out of character. That

is not the popular view. People of to expect the worst of Marsha farm

but I did not see it that way. He believes that children are even

more desensitised to violence nowadays and his exploration of it

has struck a chord. When it was actually happening it

was difficult to believe. 12 for publishers fought for the

But you will see on the chart this warmer, Mid Atlantic air. That will

work its way towards us and temperatures will bounce back by

the end of the week. Here is the scene on the satellite chart. We're

in for a chilly night. A dry, with one or two patches of cloud. Still

staying breezy in places. That will prevent some locations from getting

too cold. We have a stronger north- westerly breeze where the winds are

lighter further west. Potentially two Celsius. A risk of ground frost.

Tomorrow, high pressure starting to make its presence felt. But you can

see a north-westerly wind tomorrow. So a chilly day expected although

there will be sunshine with a risk of scattered showers. A fine start,

lots of sunshine across the region to begin with, then the cloud belts,

then one or two scattered showers. Some places may miss them entirely,

others, a bit of a drenching. One of two locations will not get above

single figures in the temperature stakes. Pretty chilly and a

moderate north-westerly wind. Through the afternoon, one or two

further showers, but towards the end of the day, they will clear

away and with those cleaving skies we're in for a chilly night

tomorrow night. Cold weather expected. Afterwards, a high

pressure system dominating. Lighter winds expected on per stake. What

they south-westerly wind that will work and at this mid-Atlantic air.

A couple of chilly days. Still a brisk breeze until far stay. Then,

looking at the overnight loans, you can see how the temperatures dip.

to evict them. What do we expect to happen? It would be a brave

reporter who made a firm predictions. But we certainly

expect there to be some sort of operation by the bailiffs. Perhaps

beginning at 8 am, at 8:30am. But the reason Vale Farm attracts so

much attention is because the travellers claim the protest is

about so much more than just Dale Farm. They are protecting the

traveller culture and way of life. Fed up with being mistreated by

society. Dale Farm is where they are drawing a line in the sand and
